Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Wild not expecting weather advantage due to Jets travel woes.  Ken sets up tonight’s contest with the Wild.

Minneapolis Star Tribune:  Wild not expecting return home for Game 3 to make challenge vs. Jets easier.  Line matching really is only an advantage when you think you can find a weakness in your opponent’s armour.  Doesn’t seem to be the case with the Jets four lines.

Sportsnet: Winnipeg is owning puck possession.  It really has been a mostly one-sided affair in this regard after the opening two games of the series.  It will be interesting to see how the Wild try to change this pattern back in their home barn.

The Athletic:  Tyler Ennis being a pro about not playing; Jets late in to St. Paul.  (Paywall).  Russo with his insight into what is happening with the Jets opposition.

The Athletic:   Through two games, Jets on cusp of historic 5-on-5 pounding of Wild.  (Paywall).  This seem good for the Jets.

CBC:  Rain on a wedding day? Whatever, Alanis. We have a whiteout blizzard.  It would appear Mother Nature has a better sense of humour than perhaps we have given her credit for with the shenanigans that occurred on Saturday.

Illegal Curve:  Jets vs. Wild Game 1 Round 3 pre-game report. The Jets didn’t skate today as they flew into Minnesota this morning as they were held out of town due to a Whiteout (of all things).  Team will speak sometime after 3 pm.
